LiUNA Local 1149 suited up for a battle against the Ohio County Eagles Special Olympics Softball Team. While the Eagles managed to put it on us in the final inning to take the win, we had an absolute blast out there.

​A massive shoutout and special thanks to Alex Sakkos for stepping up as an honorary 1149er today and holding down center field for us! Thank you to our members, who showed up on short notice to make this game possible!

​Good luck to the Eagles for the rest of their season. Those 3x defending champs are definitely the team to beat this year!

We're ready for the rematch, any place, any time!

We're looking for a few more softball players for a game this Sunday (May 17th) at 6pm. The game will be against the Ohio County Eagles at Wheeling Park HS. Contact Kyle at (304) 280-2224 if you would like to be on the 1149 team.

3 Years of Inclusion on the Ice!

​Our Laborers Rising members from Laborers Local 1149 were back at it again this weekend, volunteering for our third year at Inclusion On Ice.

​Our members were on the move, helping participants on and off the rink, assisting with specialized enculsive equipment, and making sure everyone, regardless of ability, got their turn to shine on the ice. We are so grateful for the opportunity to help make the ice accessible to everyone in our community.
